Analysis of Poppies
In the fields the soldiers fall
For our safety and the world
From the beaches of Gallipoli
To the fields of the Somme
But although the bodies remained below
The soldiers they shall not grow
Although the crosses they stand tall
Below them lie those from the war
The ones who fought so that we might stand
Through the bodies the poppies stand...
